Pojok Hamlet, Klitih Village, Plandaan District, Jombang Regency is a place where the majority of the people are involved in farming chilies. But farmers still have many issues that impact how much they can produce and how well their businesses run. This research looks into how productive chili farming is and finds out the challenges that farmers face. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach. The research area was chosen on purpose, and the people involved were selected through a snowball sampling method, which included 26 chili farmers. The main information came from interviews and watching things happen on-site, and the additional information was gathered from books and other places where similar information is kept. The data analysis involved a descriptive analysis that included looking at farm costs, revenues, incomes, and the return to cost ratio. The results indicate that growing chili in Pojok Hamlet is a good financial decision because the return on capital is more than one. Productivity depends on the size of the land, the types of seeds used, and how the production is managed. Main problems are changing prices, harm from bugs and illnesses, weather that isn't reliable, and not enough money.</em></p> <p><em> </em></p> <p><em>Keywords: chili farming; productivity; R/C ratio; agribusiness; farm feasibility</em></p> Muchamad faruq Almuzaqqi Zulfikar Copyright (c) 2026 Muchamad faruq Almuzaqqi, Zulfikar https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2026-02-20 2026-02-20 5 3 137 141 10.32764/agaricus.v5i3.7016 https://ejournal.unwaha.ac.id/index.php/agaricus/article/view/6896 <p><em>This study aims to test the effect of mycorrhizae and organic moringa leaf fertilizer on the vegetative growth of chili plants. The study was conducted at the agricultural laboratory of KH.A. Wahab Hasbullah University (UNWAHA) in June – October 2025. It was done through an experimental method. The study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), using 4 treatments with 5 replications each. The treatments used were Ap0 (control, without additional fertilizer), Ap1 (75% soil + 25% moringa leaf compost), Ap2 (75% soil + 25% mycorrhizal bioagent fertilizer), and Ap3 (75% soil + a combination of 12% moringa leaf compost and 12% mycorrhizal bioagent fertilizer). Data analysis used Duncan's Multiple Range Mean Difference Test (DMRT) with a 5% level. The observation time was 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after planting. The result were The application of mycorrhiza, Moringa leaf fertilizer, and the consortium of both had a height of chili plants ranging from 21 cm at 28</em><em>&nbsp;day after planting (DAP)</em><em>&nbsp;</em><em>are </em><em>higher than the control which was around 18 cm. The control treatment produced a lower number of leaves, namely 8.4 compared to the other three treatments with an average of 12 strands. The wet root weight of chili plants 30 </em><em>DAP </em><em>in the control was 2 grams, lower than the administration of mycorrhiza (4.2 grams), Moringa leaf fertilizer (4.2 grams), and the consortium of both (3.8 grams). The cross-section of the roots of chili plants in the three treatments was thicker than the control.</em></p> ambar susanti Copyright (c) 2026 ambar susanti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 2026-04-09 2026-04-09 5 3 130 136 10.32764/agaricus.v5i3.6896
